THE ONE TO WATCH

FILM fans might want to watch out for this new phone from Sony.

The Japanese tech giant is back with a new Xperia that’s perfect for those who want to watch and make movies.

The refreshed Xperia 1 IV (that’s mark 4 if you were wondering) now features a brighter 4K display, full-stage stereo speakers and a clever triple rear camera that can even shoot slow-motion videos in Ultra HD quality – not even the iPhone can do that.

This rear snapper features an impressive optical zoom to help get up close and personal plus object tracking makes sure what you are shooting always stays perfectly in focus.

Whopping

Along with being fabulous for film fanatics, the new Xperia 1 IV is now the most powerful phone Sony has ever made thanks to the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon Gen 1 processor.

There’s also a headphone port to plug in those cans, a special mode to help make gaming feel more immersive and a whopping 5,000mAh battery which should keep the movies playing for even the longest long-haul flight.

The only thing you no longer get with Xperia phones is a plug or USB-C lead, with Sony ditching these to cut down on electronic waste.

Sony’s Xperia 1 IV will be available soon with prices expected of around £1,000.

If that sounds too expensive, don’t panic. Sony is also updating its cheaper Xperia 10 device with this rebooted model getting an improved camera, faster processor, 5G and a pinsharp 6-inch OLED screen.

It also features a whopping 5,000mAh battery which is inside a colourful design that’s also waterresistant. Full release date and pricing expected soon.
